GREENCASTLE — For Waynesboro's core group of boys' basketball players, beating backyard rival Greencastle-Antrim for the first time in their careers one month ago was certainly a cherished occurrence.

Doing it again on the Blue Devils' home floor undoubtedly added a little something extra.

The Indians completed their convincing season sweep of G-A Friday night, rolling to a 71-48 Mid-Penn Colonial Division victory.

Aside from the venue, both meetings unfolded in similar fashion, with Waynesboro simply boasting too many weapons in wins of 23 and 29 points (71-42 on Dec. 11), respectively.

"We're pretty excited to be able to come up here and get a win," Waynesboro head coach Tom Hoffman said. "It's a tough place to play and it's been a long time since we beat Greencastle on the road. I know our guys really wanted this one, and it just speaks to their continued hard work and dedication when things weren't going our way in the past."

Showcasing excellent balance, the Indians (9-2, 4-1 MPC-Colonial) jumped out to a 21-7 lead by the end of the first quarter before weathering a G-A surge to close the half, with the Tribe ultimately reasserting itself to pull away down the stretch.

Acting as great complements to one another, Tim Ingram and Seth Hoffman paced Waynesboro's offensive attack, both finishing with a team-high 14 points.

Ingram handled the heavy lifting inside, gaining position on defenders with relentless desire to grant the Indians an advantage underneath despite giving up size.

"To be honest, Tim is definitely our unsung hero," Tom Hoffman said. "He's a smaller guy that we put in the post and he plays big. He's a good rebounder, always battles in there and we want to make sure he gets his touches."

On the perimeter, Hoffman routinely displayed his effortless release, knocking down four 3-pointers during his 4-of-7 shooting night from beyond the arc.

Shaq Smith contributed 10 points in the win while Devonte Montgomery added nine followed by eight from Ryan Kelley, thus describing the Tribe's ability to spread the wealth.

In contrast, the Blue Devils (4-7, 2-5 MPC-Colonial) again leaned heavily on Joel Zola, with the senior netting a game-high 22 points while attempting to carry the improbable comeback effort.

After G-A cut the deficit to single digits in the third, Zola picked up his fourth foul with 4:07 remaining in the frame, forcing him to tone down his characteristic aggressiveness in driving to the basket and settle for lengthy jumpers.

Essentially handicapped by the foul situation, Zola still managed to hit a trio of 3's early in the fourth to keep some form of hope alive. Unfortunately for the hosts, Waynesboro's scoring depth offset any attempted rally.

Page 2 of 2 - "Our first quarter was just terrible, but we still felt like we were in the game at halftime down just 11," G-A head coach Gary Martin said. "We battled to get it close in the third, Joel drives the lane to score and get it even closer, but instead he was called for his fourth foul on the play. It changed things for us with the game plan being to get him inside, where, with four fouls, he had to be a lot more cautious. Even so, to Waynesboro's credit, they're a very good team that got the best of us this year."

Following a Hoffman 3 that made it 36-13 midway through the second quarter, the Blue Devils finally got going with a 15-3 run to close the half, paced by three consecutive buckets from Graham Horst, who finished with a career-high nine points to serve as G-A's second leading scorer.

Attempting to build on the newly-found momentum, the Blue Devils cut the deficit to nine in the third before Zola was called for a charge, and his fourth foul, delivering a deflating blow to G-A's scheme.

In turn, Waynesboro regained command, reeling off a 15-6 run to take a comfortable, 54-36 lead into the fourth.

A pair of tough lay-ins by Ingram opened the final frame, pushing the Indians' margin into the 20s, where it basically stabilized for the remainder of regulation.

Waynesboro returns to action Monday night at James Buchanan before hosting Gettysburg — one of only two teams to beat the Indians thus far — in a marquee Colonial Division rematch on Tuesday.

G-A begins a five-game road stretch with a trip to Southern Fulton for a non-league contest on Wednesday.
